This Precolombian soundwalk is a prototype that combines a geolocated soundscape with a paper map. An original idea by Fred Adam and Verónica Perales from ubik2.com and a collaboration for the spatialization in the public space of the contents of Madrid’s Museum of America. The development is based on NoTours with some interesting new additions such as a compass indicating the route to the starting point of the soundwalk.
The soundwalk suggest you to follow the sounds of different musical instruments that have resonated throughout the Andean Region for over two …

You show up at an address by the port. It smells strange here. The door creaks as you open it. You look inside. The sound of a crackling radio, a glass set down on the table, someone muttering. You enter a hallway, following the sound.

During the last two weeks, Horacio González from noTours team has been participating as a collaborator in Artropocode 2013, sharing noTours experience with the artists in residence and the participants.

About noTours

NoTours is a project by Escoitar.org that allows editing a place with sounds. This means that you can attach sounds to a territory and that later, when you go physically to that place you can listen to them. The trick is using our noTours Android Application that detects your location (via GPS) and plays your audios exactly in the place where you decided.

NoTours proposes an augmented aurality experience. In other words, you can add a new layer of reality to your place. You can leave messages, tell stories, create geolocated concerts or just share your thoughts.
The team of noTours.org is looking forward to know your ideas and your possible uses. In fact we are artists and developers. Take a look at some of the sound walks we have made in the world.
